Seems that FBI estimate of 400 odd deaths a year due to police shootings might be just a tad off…by around 300% or so perhaps. :(

Total people killed by cops in August alone: 104 This throws the FBI estimate of 400 per year out the window. #FTP http://t.co/ezUR5QgcH8

The FBI guesstimate is made by using only those cities that voluntarily report data on justified homicides by police officers. With all the other statistical data on homocides they collect why is there no database of police shootings?

Maybe because they just don’t want people to know how large the annual death-toll has gotten?
